Hammondell Campsites puts you right in the heart of Central Florida's best-kept secret. Winter Haven is a place to slow down, soak it in, and wonder why you didn't come sooner.
Golf — Right in Your Backyard
Winter Haven is a golfer's town. Willowbrook Golf Course is a popular option for visitors, and the Country Club of Winter Haven is one of Central Florida's most historic private clubs, with roots going back to 1923. Courses here wind alongside lakes and through natural Florida landscape — which means you're likely to share the fairway with a few ospreys and great blue herons whether you want to or not.
The Chain of Lakes
Whether you prefer kayaking, paddleboarding, or a relaxing scenic boat tour, the Chain of Lakes has something for everyone. Guided pontoon cruises are a wonderful way to take it all in without breaking a sweat. Fishing is excellent year-round, and sunset on the water here is simply something you have to experience to believe.
Downtown Winter Haven — Local Flavor, Genuine Charm
Historic Downtown Winter Haven is a vibrant hub of unique shops, local dining, and art galleries showcasing works from local and regional artists.

Circle B Bar Reserve is a standout destination for birdwatching and hiking and is beloved by nature enthusiasts from around the country. Winter Haven's network of parks — including South Lake Howard Nature Park and Lake Hartridge Nature Park — offers peaceful walking trails, birding spots, and quiet lakeside settings perfect for an easy morning out.
